F has a soft, breezy sound. Show your child how to rest the top teeth on the bottom lip and blow, like a little fan. Fish, frogs, flowers and feathers are F words with lots of color choices: green or brown frogs, orange or blue fish, and flowers in any shade. In fall, add falling leaves and farm words to the list.
Capital F looks like E with the bottom line missing. If your child has already colored an E, put the two pages side by side and ask them to find the difference. Spotting small differences like this helps with reading later.
Fun facts to share while you color
- F is the sixth letter of the English alphabet.
- To say F, you touch your top teeth to your bottom lip and blow.
- The letters PH can make the F sound too, as in phone and photo.
- Two Fs often come at the end of short words, like puff, cliff and stuff.
- F and V are made the same way, but V uses your voice.
Ways to use these letter f pages
- Play freeze dance: dance until someone says an F word, then freeze and color one part of the F.
- Glue craft feathers onto the colored F for a soft, feathery letter to hang on the wall.
- Draw a fishbowl around the F and have your child add and count a set number of fish.
- Write the word family under the letter and have your child draw a small face for each family member.
Questions parents and teachers ask
How do I teach the F sound to a preschooler?
Have your child gently bite the bottom lip with the top teeth and blow out air. Practice with fan, fish and fox, and let them feel the air on their hand.
Which letters do kids confuse with F?
F is often mixed up with E, since they share the same tall line and top bars. Some children also mix lowercase f with t, so point out that f curves at the top and t does not.
